CIA-UAP-D001, Intelligence Information Report, USSR, 1973
A CIA Intelligence Information Report on the Sary Shagan ABM weapons testing range that embeds a first-person witness account of a silent, luminous green circular UAP observed at Site 7 in late summer 1973.
A CIA source, a former Soviet citizen with access to the Sary Shagan weapons testing range, provided technical details on System-75 and System-300/Aldan missile warheads and relayed hearsay about laser weapons experiments at the facility. In late summer 1973 the same source stepped outside during a Canada-USSR sports broadcast and observed a bright green circular object west of Site 7 at approximately 70 degrees elevation; the mass expanded into concentric rings within 10-15 seconds and dissipated within minutes with no sound. The source offered no opinion on the phenomenon's nature, and the field comment records no resultant rumors at the facility. The war.gov listing states an incident date of 12/20/73, but the document text places the sighting in late summer; the discrepancy is worth flagging in any corroboration effort.
